Tordoff and Wurzal will train as chartered legal executives, through the combination of on-the-job experience and academic study. Gordons will pay their salaries and course fees, meaning that they will not accumulate any student debt.

Gordons partner John Holden said: “As always, competition for apprenticeships and training contracts has been fierce and we are pleased to welcome the next generation of legal talent to the firm.

“We look forward to helping these talented, young people build their careers in the Law and we are excited to see what the future holds for them.”
